maybe for them? Open source thinking?
The Wellcome Trust was established in 1936 as an independent charity funding research to improve human and animal health. With an endowment of around £14.5 billion, it is the United Kingdom's largest non-governmental source of funds for biomedical research. The overall mission of the trust is "to foster and promote research with the aim of improving human and animal health", and in addition to funding biomedical research it supports the public understanding of science.
The Wellcome Trust plays an important role in encouraging publication of research in open access repositories such as UK PubMed Central (UKPMC). The Wellcome Trust believes that maximising the distribution of these papers - by providing free, online access - is the most effective way of ensuring that the research can be accessed, read and built upon. In turn, this will foster a richer research culture.
